Will buy most any but need to see coin/slab first and prefer better type coins - PM's appreciated!

White rattlers have smooth white paper w/o the "ribs" in the paper, all start with serial #108.... - see below.

    They are tough to find. Even when the numbers are low enough, they're not always on the white insert.

    This would have been the only Saint to my knowledge. If this one interests you, feel free to send a message.

    @Lakesammman maybe a photo (in the first post) of the type of slab you are seeking would help us help you ;)

    The PCGS Museum of Holders has distinguishing features of the white rattler (gen 1 and 1.1). The '37 buffalo shown is generation 1 as indicated by the lower slant of the dot matrix "5".

    The difference between intelligence and stupidity is that intelligence is limited...don't ask me how I know

    Why are the cert numbers N/G on the 1881-S & 1882-S?

    Have they been cracked out?

    Not sure, but it's not uncommon with the white rattlers. I asked a PCGS founder about that and he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "stuff happens". It was in the dark ages of TP Grading and computers and while we expect perfection from PCGS archives, it isn't always so.

    They haven't been cracked - I still own them.

    You could get them to reinstate the cert numbers with a photo to customer service.

    So, just dipping in bleach wouldn't work?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Nope - need to iron out the ribs in the paper as well.....

    Sort of happy new year?? :D

    Bleach AND a steam treatment? Steam works on wrinkles on clothes...why not the paper in there? ;)
